CHARLES OSWALD WOODROW', 03E NELSON, BRITISH GOLUll/IBIA, CANADA, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-FOURTH 'IO WILLIAM MODERMENT, 0F NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA,

CANADA.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES O. Woonnow, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Nelson, British Columbia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Ovens; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to portable ovens and has for an object to provide an oven having improved means for receiving its heat from a camp or open fire and with improved means forsupporting the oven in position to receive such heat.

A further object of the invention is to provide an oven having means to support the oven and means to carry the heat from an open fire about an inner chamber of the oven and so proportioned that the supporting means and the heat receiving means may be packed within the oven for transportation.

With these and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved oven. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the oven. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of two of the leg members telescoped together to form pipe.

Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The improved oven which forms the subject matter of this application comprises an outer casing 10 and an inner chamber 11 which produces a space 12 entirely around such inner chamber and between the walls of the inner chamber and the outer casing. In the under side the housing 10 is provided with a funnel 13 proportioned and positioned to set over an open fire and to receive the heated gases and products of combustion from such fire and convey them upwardly through the funnel into the passage about the chamber 11 and discharge them through the smoke opening 14 in the top. To support the oven in position so that the funnel or bell 13 is positioned above the ground or Specification of Letters Patent.

other support, the under sideof the oven is provided with sleeves or nipples 15 upon which are slipped pipes 16 serving as legs to support the oven. The pipes 16 are proportioned to fit upon the smoke nipplel i to produce an extension pipe when desired. Of course when one or more of the legs 16 is used to lengthen the smoke discharge it is necessary to support the corner of the oven thus robbed of a leg in some manner as by the use of stone, log or any convenient material or the oven may stand upon three legs, a weight being laid upon the corner transversely opposite the corner from which the leg is removed. It is of course possible that all of the legs may be removed and the oven supported in any approved manner and such legs telescoped together to form a long pipe for the discharge of gases when the stove is used in any semi-permanent position as in a camp or place where it is to remain for some time, the oven then be ing supported by rocks or otherwise. The top of the casing 10 is provided with a plate 17 thicker than the surrounding plate which when heated serves as a griddle for the cooking of any desired food while the front of the chamber 11 is provided with a door 18, the illustration at Fig. 1 showing such door 18 provided with a transparent section 19 to observe the interior of the chamber 11 both above and below the shelf 20. The bell 13 is made removable from the bottom of the oven by being slipped into a nipple 21 and when removed the bell together with the leg 16 also removed are proportioned to be packed in the chamber 11 for transportation.

I claim 1. An oven comprising an inner and outer shell forming an interior chamber surrounded by a passage, a nipple communicating with the passage at the bottom, a bell slipped into and retained by the nipple, a nipple at the top of the oven communicating with the passage, and tubular supporting legs removably carried at the bottom of the oven proportioned to be telescoped together and slipped upon the upper nipple.

2. In an oven, an inner and outer casing providing an inner baking compartment and a surrounding passage, a nipple communicating with the bottom of the passage, a bell removably secured to the nipple, a second nipple communicating with the passage at in the inner compartment when removed the top of the oven, and a plurality of tubufrom both. 7 10 hr legs removably secured to the under side In testimony whereof I alfix my signaof the oven and proportioned to support ture in presence of'two Witnesses. the oven with the bell spaced from the; CHARLES OSWALD WOOD'ROW.
